Title: newLisp IDE tgz Problem
Post by: CDon on November 23, 2007, 06:55:06 PM
I find that I can't open newlisp-ide-4.1.tgz with either WinZip 11.1 or an old version of WinRar.  WinZip gives gives the message "Error reading header after processing 0 entries" and WinRar just seems to hang up doing nothing.  I have re-downloaded and have tried opening in place.  The problem persists.  What might I be overlooking?

You can also try 7-Zip (free):

Or Total Commander (shareware), which can do it for you too:

Thank you.  I installed 7Zip, and it unpacked the file just fine.  In doing this I discovered the source of the 'problem'.  The web page link indicates that the file type should be tgz, but the downloaded file actually has a tar exension.  Renaming the extension to tgz allows WinZip to unpack the file.  It would appear the the mighty WinZip is not as smart as 7Zip :-)
